To find the width of the flower bed, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
Area = length x width
We know the length is 12.5 feet and the area is 87.5 square feet, so we can substitute those values into the formula to solve for the width:
87.5 = 12.5 x width
Dividing both sides by 12.5 gives:
width = 7
So the width of the flower bed is 7 feet.
